The number density of gas atoms at a certain location in the space above our planet is about 0.75 × 10!1 m²³, and the pressure is 2.9 x 10-
10 Pa in this region.
What is the temperature in this region, in degrees Celsius?
T =
Saturn's moon Titan has a mass of 1.3452 x 1023 kg , a diameter of 5,150 km, and an atmosphere made mostly of N2 at a constant temperature of -179 degrees Celsius. Assume that the pressure at the surface is 50% more than on Earth.
What is your best estimate of Titan's atmosphere's R constant?
